Replying To MrVelo: "Caherlistrane might not be favourites, but give them a huge shout of turning over Corofin." How did the North and West Finals go today? When is the county final? GDL (Galway) - Posts: 977 - 06/09/2026 18:13:13 2692910 Link
Replying To Galwaysam277: "Shock win for breathnachs today Corofin too strong for Chairlistrane" Not a shock win at all MB,Oranmore,Claregalway,Corofin have always been very close at this age group.Never more than kick or two of ball.

Replying To GDL: "How did the North and West Finals go today? When is the county final?" Not for few more weeks.Its not straight West vs North.Cg won today and play Caherlistrane in Q/F proper and Salthill beat Dunmorw today and they play Oranmorre and winners of these games go on to play either MB or Corofin in semis.Alot of football to go yet.

Replying To Galwaysam277: "Shock win for breathnachs today Corofin too strong for Chairlistrane" Ahh, but sure Corofin have two parishes - Belclare and Corofin. With that catchment, and predominantly football, there's no excuse v potential clashes v Moycullen and probably Oranmore/Maree down the road. At IC level, Dunmore, Tuam and Ballinasloe provided the main men. Corofin, for all their coaching development, end up with semi-robots, unfortunately not good enough for the top IC table.

Replying To Galwaysam277: "Shock win for breathnachs today Corofin too strong for Chairlistrane" How is it a shock? That team got to the Féile All-Ireland final two years ago, having comfortablly beaten every team they faced in Galway. They also won the U15 championship. This year they had 6 players on the county minor panel and some of the standout players on the team. They were my favourites before it started and I'd still have them as that. Not much between a lot of the other teams. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 3043 - 06/09/2026 20:59:57 2692938 Link

Not sure what you're on about there. Are you saying coaching lads to be able to kick well with both feet from a young age is detrimental? Corofin have been excellent at developing players for years. Their style of play is anything but robotic. Odd comments. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 3043 - 06/09/2026 21:02:46 2692939 Link
Replying To Galwaysam277: "Shock win for breathnachs today Corofin too strong for Chairlistrane" Shock win?? Far from it. That breathnachs team have been beating every1 before them for years. I'd be suprised if the don't go on to win it out. Very stupid format I think. Should be just a straight shoot out between north and west in final. Salthill lost 3 group games but are still in the mix. Makes no sense. Joed1987 (Galway) - Posts: 21 - 06/09/2026 21:51:18 2692943 Link

Sorry apologies.Not 100 percent sure of pairings but its something like that.Definitely 2 or 3 games to go. Alwaysencourage (Galway) - Posts: 644 - 07/09/2026 00:06:00 2692950 Link

Sorry but more games at that age group is good for their development or is it just about winner takes all for you? Alwaysencourage (Galway) - Posts: 644 - 07/09/2026 11:24:24 2692993 Link

They drew with Oranmore and only beat Claregalway by point so those 3 teams are always close at this age.Corofin are strong in north Alwaysencourage (Galway) - Posts: 644 - 07/09/2026 11:27:24 2692994 Link
